RentmanBiz

What Rentman is missing (and why this matters)

Rentman knows what is planned: which job is on, what equipment goes out, who should be there and for how many hours. What it does not know is what actually happened: whether that person turned up, at what time, whether they were at the venue or at home, and how many hours they really worked.

Today that gap is filled by hand. Someone asks, someone writes it down, someone types the hours in at the end of the week. And when the end client questions an invoice, or a worker questions their payslip, all there is is each side's word.

RentmanBiz closes that gap in both directions: it brings who works and where from Rentman, and sends back the hours actually clocked.

What it gives you, specifically

Hours stop being typed

When a worker closes their shift in CheckBiz360, those hours appear on their own in the matching Rentman project within the next quarter of an hour. No spreadsheets in between, no reminders, nobody transcribing anything.

Verifiable hours, not declared ones

This is the difference that counts. *"The technician says he was there ten hours"* is not the same as *"it is on record that he clocked in at 08:02 inside the venue, from his authorised device, and clocked out at 18:10 from the same place"*.

That changes two conversations: the one with the end client about an invoice, and the one with a worker about their payslip.

The legal time record, which Rentman does not cover

Rentman is a production tool, not a legal time-keeping system. The law requires a daily record of working hours, kept, accessible and tamper-proof. CheckBiz360 provides it — with exportable reports — without changing how anyone works: planning stays in Rentman.

The event becomes a place to clock in

Every job with crew assigned becomes a work site with its own geofence, taken from the venue address. In this industry nobody clocks in at the office: they clock in at the arena, the theatre or the warehouse where the build happens. And nobody has to create sites by hand every week.

Warehouses come in the same way, as permanent sites: that is where people clock in every day.

Everyone knows what they are doing on arrival

Rentman assignments become tasks inside CheckBiz360. Workers open the app and see which job they are going to, with what role and what schedule, and tick off what they complete. They stop arriving and asking.

Who prepared each order, and how long it took

This is probably the change that shows up most in the daily life of a rental company.

A dry hire or a sale takes nobody to an event, but somebody has to prepare that equipment before the client picks it up, and somebody has to check it back in when it returns. Today that is arranged verbally — *"I'll sort it out this afternoon"* — and recorded nowhere.

With RentmanBiz, each operation generates its task at the right warehouse, dated by when the equipment goes out. From there:

• You know who has to do it: the manager shares those tasks among the warehouse crew, and each person sees theirs on their phone.
• You know who did it, because the task carries their name and is marked complete.
• And you know how long it took, because that person is clocked in at that warehouse while preparing it.

That opens questions you could not even ask before: what a typical order really costs to prepare, whether two people take the same time on the same job, whether the warehouse's busy spells match what was planned, or how many people you need on the Friday of a heavy weekend.

It ships off by default, because not every company wants to run its warehouse through tasks, and a rental company has dozens of these operations a week.

What a job really cost

The hours posted are net, with the break already deducted, and they carry the hourly cost of each role that you already have defined in Rentman. The gap between planned and actual stops being a hunch.

And nobody touches the record unnoticed

If someone edits already-posted hours in Rentman, your CheckBiz360 clock-in is not changed. The difference is detected, flagged and shown to you with both versions side by side so you decide. The legal record is never silently overwritten.

What it does not do

Just as important:

• It does not modify your clock-ins based on Rentman data.
• It does not send open or incomplete shifts: no clock-out, nothing to send.
• It does not create crew or assignments in Rentman. Their API does not allow it: people and assignments travel from Rentman to CheckBiz360, never the other way.
• It does not sync equipment, quotes or invoices.
• It does not send your tasks to Rentman. Planned for later.

Current status

What you need to start

A Rentman account with permission to create an API token, CheckBiz360 time tracking active, and some time to review what the first import leaves pending — usually missing emails and geofences to confirm.
